Canes, Paul Ysart has many distinctive canes and these can be easily seen on Kevin's and my site. Though Kevin is the most detailed on canes and recognition, my site is intended more for first level ID of basic design.

Sorry that my limited knowledge of other makers can't help identify the weight,but what I can add is that from the images of the weight ,it looks as if the millefiori is actually on one layer.The "two layer"effect is because the outer ring has been pulled down as the centre layer has risen.This happens while the weight is getting "cut in" at the base ,near to the end of the making process.

Hi Allan, yes, looking at the supersize image, it seems to be an optical illusion, and if I look really closely I can see the faint line of the clear glass between the two sections of canes, all running in a smooth domed line.
